Santanu Sen’s Supplementary Question on date for getting all eligible Indians fully vaccinated against COVID-19
Sir, in the reply given regarding COVID vaccination, the Health Ministry has categorically accepted that we are still far away from getting all the eligible citizens vaccinated by double dose. I am not here to give discredit to the Government, as the speakers from the Treasury Benches are busy in giving credit to the present Government even during Question Hour. But, I am here to raise a specific question. We have been listening to several promises during the COVID vaccination. We have seen there was a sharp rise in COVID vaccination on International Yoga Day; we have seen there was a sharp rise in COVID vaccination on the birthday of our learned Prime Minister, followed by sharp fall in vaccination. …(Interruptions)… Sir, I am coming to my question. My question, which is a long-standing question in the minds of the people at large in the country, is this. Earlier we used to hear that by 31st of December 2021, all eligible citizens will be vaccinated by double dose, forget about the booster dose. …(Interruptions)… Can the hon. Minister give a specific date by which all the eligible Indian citizens will be vaccinated by double dose?
